New Treasury West…

I was able to grab a Treasury West today and thought it appropriate to feature a few of the CAC members. I think it’s pretty, and hope you agree! It’s still open for clickin’ through Thursday morning EARLY! Go ahead, they need love, too! “Loverlies From Team CAC “

Misty Blue…

Yay, I woke up to find my Rain Drop Earrings in a Treasury West this morning! Misty Blue will be live and available for clicks until Monday afternoon, March 16.

This selection was curated by Cathy of Knit2getherInLove. Cathy is a fellow member of Team CAC (Christian Artists and Crafters). Check out her cute Poochie Sweater for St. Patty’s Day!


What is this breed, 'cause he's pretty adorable??!! ; o )

Yay, First Etsy Sale…

Well, I love “firsts”! Today, I made my first sale on my Etsy shop! It was for the Shimmering Sapphire Earrings I listed a couple of weeks ago. Not a big sale, but I am pumped and fully expecting this to be enough to pull me out of my “downy dumps” about NO sales!! I am very grateful, and look forward to many more, perhaps in the not too distant future!!

New beauties from Kerribeads...

I've been checking out a few new beads posted on Kerri Fuhr's blog, The Daily Bead. A gorgeous swan and one of her fantastic dragonflies, only this time it's on a red bead. Awesome... a must see... http://kerrifuhr.blogspot.com/

EBW Team Colors of Spring...

Check out this treasury of beautiful jewelry done by a few members of the Etsy BeadWeavers Team.

New items in shop...

I've added three new items to my Etsy shop! Hope they're well received. I'm looking forward to my first sale!! The first, Sweet Amethyst. The photos really don't do it justice, so my photography skills are going to HAVE to improve!

Second, Shimmering Sapphire photos were better in my estimation. The earrings are sophisticated, yet feminine.










Last, but not least, Summer Strawberries look good enough to eat! Yum! These are Cherry Brand vintage strawberry beads from the late 40s, early 50s. I absolutely love vintage beads!
